I wasn't sure to get happy home paradise or not, i kindi felt I'd maybe get bored with it an it's just the basic membership I get

I've got the online expansion so I got HHP for 'free'. It's fun and worth playing if you're a fan of ACNH, but I found it got a bit old after a while.

I've watched a few streamers on Twitch play Hogwarts Legacy. The graphics look great but I thought the gameplay and combat seemed a bit repetitive.

I enjoyed the Nintendo Direct last week. Was good to see a new Tears of the Kingdom trailer. Really looking forward to finally playing it in May! I know some are a bit worried that we saw a lot of the Breath of the Wild map, but I have faith it'll be different enough to stand on its own feet. It's Zelda after all.

I was quite surprised to see a new character announced for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, too. I just assumed the DLC was only going to be new tracks, so it was a pleasant shock to see Birdo's joining the roster soon. I still think Nintendo should have made a new Mario Kart game for the Switch, but I suppose they're saving that for the next console.

Love fall guys. Gutted I paid £11 for it back in the day now it’s free for everyone!

Really? I had thought it had always been a free game, I hate when that happens, the games I've paid for only to see them added to game pass a few weeks later

Anyone know anything about the PS5 portable thing coming out?
Tempted for our kid but not sure (we have a PS5 in the living room).

Hello there, everyone. I understand that everyone has their own gaming preferences, but please don't make fun of me because of mine. I enjoy playing Minecraft, however my PC prevents me from playing on practically any servers save those featuring micro games. I recently purchased a new PC with excellent specifications and instantly decided to begin playing on survival sites such as anarchy and the like, but I'm not sure where to begin. So I want to ask people who also play Minecraft recommend 5 best survival Minecraft Servers https://servers-minecraft.net/minecraft-smp-servers . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you went on reddit or Minecraft forum to look for servers? It's where I found the ones am on, met some really cool people an now play on 3 different ones, I'd probably say try an stay away from the non age limit ones, most that advertise usually include a age of 18 or 21 (unless your under that) I find the ones that don't request you be over a certain age are full of griefers, it's all over 21 ones am on

Is it only the fighting style you like? Or would you go for the survival ones, I find the survival to be a lot more chilled an friendly than the other an less likely to draw in kids and griefers

But I'd definitely suggest you try out those two sites, most give a good detail of what the server is like an also how they run it, if it's just free building or working as a community an building shops to sell things etc

Spoke to my other half on the phone properly for the first time in a wee while today (he's working abroad) and he told me he played like a solid 10 hours of Starfield on his day off this week and then got an error message and when he rebooted it corrupted all his save files and he had to go right back to the start! He was absolutely devastated!

I hope he has recovered!

I really want to get back into it again, I only have the pets pack and I don't know if any of the others are worth it? I see so many videos on Tiktok of people with amazing houses and content and I'm jealous but I don't know where to start

I feel the same! I only have the base game and the packs are so expensive but I feel I need to buy a few to really make the gameplay worth it. Really want to get back in to it. I have nearly all the Sims 3 expansions so debating just reinstalling that instead.

He’s had to go out now, he said you can have more than one save and he’s played games on my PS5 using his account but I’m not sure how he did it and I’m too lazy to google, he’s also not sure if we can both play at the same time.

Oh no! I hope you can install soon.

You just need to set up a new profile on his console and link it to your psn account and you should be able to play it on your own save I’m sure I read that other people play the same game on two consoles at once so definitely worth a try setting it up on yours when he’s home.

I’ve got to go out now too so hoping it’s all resolved when I get home

Can’t seem to find the PS5 thread ( I’m sure there was one) just wondered how common the “pull “on the controllers are ? I’ve found it impossible to source one in my local area.

Has anyone been playing the new Mario Kart 8 DLC tracks? They’re fun and it’s great to have something new in a much played game.

Brought Stranded: Alien Dawn yesterday. It almost lives up to the billing of "Rimworld but in 3D", tbh. As long as it keeps getting more content as it goes on, I think it'll be very good (not to mention the mods that will inevitably appear).

There's actually going to be a GTA 6?! 🫣

They've been talking about it for well over a year now.
As they always seem to do. They'll just keep going I think until it dies out

I’ve been playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. It’s set in medieval times in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The story is good if a bit slow sometimes (cut scenes and dialogue can drag on). There’s an index in the game which explains all the history and little facts about life in medieval times.

The game is a grind! It doesn’t hold your hand. The main character has to learn how to do everything from combat training to learning how to read. I loved RDR2 for the setting, open world, and tons of side quests and exploring to do. KCD is filling that void.

I have been really interested in getting this, but it seems like such a time investment

My villagers threw me a birthday party today, it’s so wholesome.

Is it your birthday in real life? If so, happy birthday!!!

Ahh I think I'm very close to finishing my island! Which I've not had a finished island at all since the game came out. im a chronic re starter. So might restart once I've done this one. I'm not sure. I'm still tempted to do a no terraforming island just like the previous games but we will see!

Mines is no where near finished I keep telling myself one day it will be, its supposed to be London at the front an hogwarts at the back, all I've got done is privite drive with my houses an the layout for hogwarts with some classes an the great Hall an some of the common rooms decorated

Just downloaded Disney Speedstorm!

 

[CrimsonCountess]

you guys seem good at this stuff so I’m hoping one of you might know I’ve got an old game that I wanted to try and play, but my gaming laptop doesn’t have a disk drive. If I installed it on my pc and then transferred it to a memory stick would I be able to play it from the memory stick on my laptop or do I still need the disks to run it? Or am I better off buying a plug in disk drive?

Has anyone ever changed their Xbox to a different region to get into games earlier?

Legacy releases tomorrow at midnight at local region, being UK means am 13h behind new Zealand, wondering if I can change the Xbox to new Zealand an get it when it goes live there

Would this screw the game up if it works?

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Tchia (these screenshots from the PS5 version) is a great little game! I recommend it highly.

Also, I've been wondering if a remake/remaster of the original Metal Gear Solid could ever work on modern consoles?
With the unique way certain villains in the the game interracted with controllers and memory cards, I don't know how they'd do it now.
